Wired Divergent: Nervous System Regulation & Self Trust for Neurodivergent Brains
Wired Divergent is a solo show about nervous system regulation for neurodivergent brains. Hosted by Jen deHaan, an autistic and ADHD Canadian who has spent close to 30 years working across creative technology, performance, fitness instruction, and podcast production.
Most nervous system content assumes a neurotypical baseline. This show doesn’t.
Wired Divergent covers functional freeze, autistic burnout, sensory overload, ADHD paralysis, masking, interoception, and the somatic tools that actually work when your brain is wired differently. Episodes mix long form education with short, repeatable micro-rest and body double sessions you can use in real time for asyncronous support.
The show is grounded in the Community Resilience Model (CRM), a skills-based, trauma-informed approach that treats regulation as something your body already knows how to do. Polyvagal theory gets discussed here too, but critically (basically, not as gospel but we’ll take the pieces that work.)
If you’re a late-diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergent adult, an ADHD professional trying to get through your workday without crashing, a practitioner looking to make your somatic work more neuro-inclusive, or just someone who has given up on “just breathe” as advice, this show is for you.
New episodes cover topics like: somatic exercises for ADHD, vagus nerve stimulation for sensory processing, the window of tolerance for neurodivergent adults, co-regulation techniques, stimming as a regulation tool, and why standard meditation fails neurodivergent brains.
Created, written, and produced by Jen deHaan.
